Visual Studio 2017 not detecting visualizers in Documents directory

Question

Visual Studio 2017 is not detecting the visualizer I added to the Documents directory (C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2017\\Visualizers).

If I put it in C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\Community\\Common7\\Packages\\Debugger\\Visualizers it works.

How can I fix this? It works fine in the Documents directory on other machines.

Update

It turns out it is actually looking in the OneDrive/Documents directory! How can I change this?

Answer 1

Re-installing Visual Studio fixed it. The following conditions were also met, not sure if they made a difference:

• Made sure Documents / Pictures / etc were not set to AutoSave to OneDrive (via OneDrive settings)
• Renamed OneDrive Documents directory before VS2017 install, then reverted.
